Open standard · AgTech digital twins

3D digital twins for agriculture. Open stack. FIWARE-native.

NKZ (Nekazari) is an open platform for operational twins: WebGL visualization, NGSI-LD data, and pluggable domains—from LiDAR and Sentinel to MQTT, ROS 2, and ISOBUS.

Community Edition (AGPLv3). Enterprise Edition: managed SaaS, SLAs, dedicated deployments.

NKZ web client — 3D twin viewport

Built on standards you already run in production

NKZ module grid in the web client

Core and plugins, not a monolith

Polyrepo layout: a stable core for twin runtime, NGSI-LD context, and orchestration. Domains ship as separate repositories under github.com/nkz-os—LiDAR (.laz ingest), plant health (Sentinel via rio-tiler), IoT (MQTT), robotics (ROS 2, Zenoh), machinery (ISOBUS), agrivoltaics, ERP (Odoo), and team chat (Mattermost). Upgrade or replace a module without forking the platform.

NKZ map and layer UI

From heavy rasters to 3D tiles

Designed for large GeoTIFF stacks and time series: backend services on Kubernetes, asynchronous jobs via Redis/Celery, and a WebGL client (CesiumJS) for smooth navigation over real farm geometries—not a slideshow of static PNGs.

NGSI-LD entity view in NKZ

NGSI-LD context, CEP rules, real devices

Context data follows FIWARE NGSI-LD (Orion-LD). Complex event processing for agronomic and machine rules. Field devices integrate over MQTT; fleets and implements over ISOBUS where applicable.

Modules

Optional capabilities you enable when they match your operation. Public modules live under the nkz-os GitHub organization.

All modules
  • Core / Platform

    Core / Platform

    Twin runtime, NGSI-LD integration, WebGL shell (CesiumJS), and orchestration. The main entry point for self-hosted deployments.

  • Plant health (Sentinel)

    Plant health (Sentinel)

    Cloud-optimized Sentinel rasters via rio-tiler; time-aware vegetation indices as NGSI-LD entities.

    Repository →
  • IoT (MQTT)

    IoT (MQTT)

    Stream device telemetry into NGSI-LD and CEP rules with predictable ingestion paths.

    Robotics (ROS 2 / Zenoh)

    Bridge ROS 2 stacks and Zenoh to twin state, tasks, and monitoring.

    Repository →
  • Machinery (ISOBUS)

    Machinery (ISOBUS)

    ISO 11783-oriented workflows for implements and task data where the fleet supports it.
